Johnny, just read this from start to finish, and what a stunning build.  I too have had good experiences with Vallejo Metal Color, but I've only done lottle pieces, not a NMF beauty.

 

Lovely jubbly.  Looking forward to the Bloody Paralyser...

Thanks. I'm going to have to put that name in the title.

 

thanks for all the lovely comments.

still away but I'll be back in a few days. Possibly get the RFI done before the weekend. I have Download Festival on Sunday However.

 

Rock 'n' Roll year or what?

Nah, you haven't missed a thing while you were away.....

"Crisis, what crisis" is the album springs to mind.

Is the Lightning's journey done? Or a coupla details left?

[The Spadgent]

Damn you life for getting in the way of plastic. I need to catch a train in 20 mins "Jimmy Carr in Brum "  so can't post the RFI.  

Tomorrow friends, I promise.  

There are a LOT of pics. 

Here's the link to the new 0/400 build if you fancy tagging along with some madness of a stringy WW1 kind.

 

 

heres one or two to whet yer whistle till then.

 

 

love you all.

I really really really really really like it a lot!

 

Outstanding finish and weathering!

 

Can't wait for those RFI pics

 

Ciao

Jimmy Carr is great live IMHO... especially when he's testing the audience on their 'prudishness'. Enjoy!

Yes he was great, getting heckled by some drunken idiot to do new material on a "best of" tour was a joy to behold.

Thanks guys for following along with my CrAzy.

The RFI is up.

I gots to dash. That Rock 'n' Roll won't listen to itself. 

love you all and thanks again, it's been emotional. 

 

Take care and as always.

 

Happy Modelling.

 

John.

Flippin' 'eck Mr Spadg, this looks amazing.

 

The first build of your's that I saw was the Handley Page Nightmare. I'm now watching the EE Lightning build quietly from the wings (pun intended) but have only just come across this one (which predates both) by noodling through BM's WIP's.

 

Anyways, it's absolutely terrific. And you're a very talented guy. (You do however have a very odd taste in music )
